LotteryHUB Weekly Review

April 4, 2014 – More than $500 million was claimed by jackpot winners this week, making it an exciting week despite the relatively lower jackpot values offered by Powerball and Mega Millions.

Also, LotteryHUB this week officially introduced players to the new Mega Millions channel, making LotteryHUB the official mobile app of Powerball and Mega Millions, the two largest lottery brands in the world.

Hopefully this was a great week for all our readers as well, and with lots of money on the line in this weekend’s jackpot games, let’s hope it’s an even more exciting weekend.

Weekly Jackpot Update

Tonight, Mega Millions players will have a chance to claim an estimated $30 million annuity jackpot, which has a cash value worth about $16 million.

And now with LotteryHUB’s new Mega Millions channel, Mega Millions players and fans can watch tonight’s and every drawing live, right on their smartphone. The new Mega Millions channel will also have all the winning numbers and LotteryHUB’s ticket tracking tools.

Saturday’s Powerball jackpot is just starting to draw attention from more casual Powerball players. At an estimated $70 million for Saturday night’s drawing, the Powerball jackpot has a cash value worth more than $40 million.

Winner News

There have been a lot of winners in the past month or so – two Mega Millions jackpots and two Powerball jackpots were won in the month of March.

Want to join the parade of winners? Should you play a Quick Pick or some lucky numbers? The short answer is that improving your odds is next to impossible, but Quick Picks and lucky numbers each offer their own benefits. Check out this post to hear our thoughts on either choice.
